I think that with the amount of RAM you have, you can leave the swap file as is. The general rule of thumb (that I've heard anyway) is that you don't need to make your swap file more than 100mb regardless of how much ram you have. Of course, if you're doing video or graphics editing, then the more swap space the better. > >Dear friends: > >I have an AMD K6-2 400 Mhz CPU with 128 megs of RAM (and 16 megs of video >RAM) and a swap file of 256 megs of RAM. > >I will be adding 256 megs of RAM tomorrow for a total of 384 megs of RAM. > >Question: With 384 megs of memory RAM, should I reinstall my LM 8.0 and >install a new Linux swap file of 384 x 2 or 768?
